App.conf version is empty on .spl file

I would like to put my application into Splunkbase. However when I package my app and send it to splunk validator api, I see the following error.

Splunk App packages must contain a default/app.conf file with an [id]or [launcher] stanza using theversionproperty formatted asMajor.Minor.Revision

I see that although I have a version in my app.conf, after downloading it is deleted from there. I added an [id] stanza to make things work but things go tangled.

Can you please share your actual complete app.conf? Did you place it in local or default?

I placed it on default/app.conf. I added the id stanza because I was not able to pass those validation requirements.

[default]
[id]
version = 1.0.5
name = thundra

[install]
is_configured = 0

[launcher]
version = 1.0.5
description = Full Observability for AWS Lambda from Thundra
author = Thundra

[package]
id = thundra

[ui]
is_visible = 1
label = Thundra App

When I download it after packaging the .spl file shows the version field "version = " that.

Also this is my local/app.conf
[ui]

[launcher]
version =

You will need to delete anything in local. You local version of app.conf takes precedence over your default version of app.conf.

I have deleted it but nothing is changed.

Actually deleting all of the local directory worked.

However I have views and data_models on local directory that I need to use it in my app. I moved the views under the default folder and it worked but the data models are disappeared.
